If you're seriously in a budget, get CM, I haven heard any failed products from CM so far, but I'm not so sure about the latest product switches though, hope that they will keep using Cherry switches.
Ducky is also a good brand, except for their fail LED might be a turn off for some, so get one without LED so you won't feel disappointed. Just a side note the failing LED in Ducky is quite low, if you're a hardcore blink-blink fan then go for the LED.

Me, I got myself a Filco TKL, love it so far, the keyboard is so solid that I can't really feels the tactile feedback from MX Brown compare to CM QuickFire Ultimate also MX Brown.

Okay, right now I have a roughly RM200+ to RM300+ budget range in mind. Preferably Cherry MX Blue, once again. And I am not that much of a hardcore blink blink fan, so I think I will do fine without LEDs.

Rosewill K9000 is the way to go beside CM equivalent (CM QuickFire Pro).
Fit your budget nicely.

Take this as price reference..

Filco as abang joker n justnits yg said earlier
but for ur budget, rk9000 / ducky zero dah do fine kan?
*sorry never survey / own cm products, so no comment on it.

What's the price like for these 2? I have asked 2 of our fellow members here for pricing, both @lingloong and @heavyarm. They don't carry Roosewill brand.

Seems that it's a bad place to shop for something you want in Malaysia sometimes.
When u are in need of them , every dealer out there sang the same tune.
Been looking for ducky shine 3 mx brown and orange led.
None had instant stock. It's more scarce then panda dwelling in the wild.

250 - 300 i guess is enough to acquire rk9000 / ducky zero fits ur budget kan
if u buy from heavyarm.. u can check their website to see if there's extra keycap you would like to grab as well or not

Couldn't agree more with you. Most of the PC/Phones related products I wanted are all available only through sites like Amazon and eBay in Malaysia. It's kinda like a pain in the ass sometimes, especially when ordering for stuff through these sites. You gotta worry for the parcels when they're on the way here, if it's lost, we can do nothing about it.

what to do, almost every Tom, d*** and Harry is looking for overpriced "gaming brands" such as Razer, Logitech and Corsair...so definitely retailers would take more of those brand to sell rather than those brands without gimmicks

What... the... actual... fvck?

That would imply 3snek is having the same build quality as Ducky and Filco. Might be true, but you also pay a lot for Gimmick + Advertising.

Rosewill, CM Storm and Ducky Zero Shine are pretty much good entry level boards. These are the only few that comes with my recommendation.

Step up and you'll be talking Filco and Ducky.

KBT/Vortex might be good but not recommended from me personally.

Im interested at getting my first mkb. looking for maybe poker 2.. why is the vortex is not recommended?

i don't mean to bring out razer's bad quality D: but what i mean was publicity among the market

also, check pm

Critical components made by samseng lah...

poker 2 vs fc660M...ignore the difference in no. of keys..which one would u choose?

poker 2?

or fc660M?

*edited - oops not C...its M...the cherry switch vers.

poker = mx switch
fc660c = topre switch
type feels different.

If I am hao already using new one lah
the set is GMK.
Actually if you look clearly the more obvious shining keys are Tab and A.
Look at that mirror-surface

aren't GMK the GOD-tier of keycaps? will still shine yea?

It is abs, will shine for sure after long term usage.
Time to make it shines is depending on users.
